Positive Extension of City Staff developers, residents, and others. 4Creeks' goalist tol be seen as a! positive extension of City staff. We understand we willl be representing the City internally to City departments, City Counci, Planning Commission, and TCAG, as well as externaly to Caltrans, utility agencies, IMPLEMENTATION PLAN City Engineering Projects One oft the characteristics that sets 4Creeks apart from our competition is our ability tos successfully manage a wide variety of local agency projects, including! large, varied, and complicated ones. Wel have au unique approach to overall project management and project implementation: that provides our agency clients with delivery of projects on time and within budgets. For capital improvement infrastructure projects, 4Creeks' typical implementation; plan includes the following: Project Initlation: 4Creeks holds ar meeting withi internal staff to identify project goals, objectives, and scope. Staff willv work independentlyt tos gather information about the project, including any constraints and potential risks. Funding requirements; environmental and right of ways status/permitting utility coordination; ands specific project tasks, milestones, and! budget are discussed. Survey, Data Collection, and Sitel Investigation: Ouri initial work begins immediately upon noticet to proceed andi includes initial researchi to collect utility plans, record drawings of existing facilities, and otherr relevant information. Once the topographic survey is completed, 4Creeks will taket the collected data andt topographic survey and prepare background data and base maps for use during thep preliminary engineering phase. We then conduct a thorough site investigation to field verify thei initial information, as Initial Cityl Kick-OffN Meeting and Comprehensive Work Plan: 4Creeks holds thei initial kick-off meeting with City stafft to discuss the comprehensive work plan which clearly reflects thet tasks, work product deliverables, and overall schedule and milestones. The Preliminary Engineering! Phase: Int this stage of the project, our team prepares supplemental calculations and analyses that will layt thef foundation for the project's design. Fore example, these analyses mayi include pavement section analysis, right of way Environmentall Phase: To comply withe environmental rules and regulations, our team completes ther required environmental compliance document, including necessary assessments of environmental resources, such as wildlife, habitats, cultural and well asi identify potential design constraints and opportunities. City's expectations and responsibilities ofe each! party are defined. impact analysis, drainage calculations, hydraulic studies, and more. historic assets, as well as air and water quality. Utility Coordination and Righto of Way: Utility coordination and right of way are twoi items that are always critical to ap project schedule. We discuss thesei items witht the City at the initial City kick-off meeting. We order utility plats and preliminary title reports as early as possible int the project and begin the coordination process for these two tasks as soon as possible to avoid For any project, itis critical that we get utility pothole information as soon as possible and complete subsurface explorations. Underground utility conflicts with at thickened pavement section could significantly affect the utility relocation requirements for the project. For the right of way, we would liket to get thec current property owners involved as soon as possible sot they feeli includedi int the process, but we will make sure our contact with themi isi inc accordance with the City's expectations. Early identification of potential obstacles and a! better understanding of thep property owner's concerns will allow us tof find an acceptable solution for the property owner, but morei importantly, serve the City and accelerate the project schedule. delays int the project schedule. Engineering Designl Phase: 4Creeks has an excellent record of preparing comprehensive, biddable and buildable construction documents (plans, specifications, and engineer's opinion of probable construction costs). Thisi is achieved throughi in-house team member reviews at set milestones during thep preparation of construction documents. The engineering phase typically includes 30%, 60%, and 90% milestone submittals tot the City before finalizing the construction documents. Modifications are easily accommodated: at each milestone, resultingi in a tight, biddable set of construction documents. A separate engineer.qualifiedto review thes specific project documents, performs a quality control review prior to eachr milestone submittal. Controlling the cost of ap project is extremely important. The 4Creeks' team tracks costs on each project to ensure costs are quantified for futurer reference. This is accomplished by utilizing the following sources ofi information for unit prices and costs: Cost Estimationt Ghd Phasing Progroms: Historic cost datar received by our team and the City for similar projects Strong working relationships with public sector contractors Track records of performance and cost data obtained fromi industry and manufacturers' representatives Oure estimation process is based on the development of ani initial construction cost using the above noted sources. This budget will be used to determine the ultimate level of the project's design elements andi features. Our team willy work with the Cityt to identify any bid alternates int the contract documents per the direction received from the Cityi in the initiall kick-off meeting. Bidding Phase: Our staff can assist the City during the! bidding phase, including attendingt the pre-bid meeting to answer Contractor questions, preparing addendums (if needed) to modify the bid documents, conducting the! bid opening, reviewing bids Construction! Phase: 4Creeks can assist the City with Construction Administration: such as conducting a preconstruction meeting, reviewing contractors' bids, and respondingt tol Requests for Information. 4Creeks can also provide complete Construction Management and Construction Inspection to verify projects are built according to the design ands specifications. In addition, 4Creeks has prepared numerous engineering reports, studies, and site evaluations. We understand there are numerous and varied typest that cities are responsiblet to complete. These may be State-regulated, such as annualr reports required for Landscape, Lighting, and! Maintenance Districts, or multi-way stop signy warrant analysis requestedbyaresident received, and Poxangarmcommendton for contract award. 4Creeks has thet breadth and depth of staff to also complete these as well and prioritize each. Capital Improvement Program Development Int the role of City Engineer, 4Creeks' staff has significant experience inj preparing a City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which outlines the City's plannedi infrastructure projects and their associated costs for ag givent time period, usually severaly years. Wev work with the City toi identify, prioritize, and budget for projects including water, sewer, storm, and roadway improvements, as well as other public works projects. Oncet the CIPi is prepared, 4Creeks will continue to monitor existing needs and deficiencies and will reprioritize as may! ber necessary, assist the City toi identify funding, schedule projects for completion, and design and/or oversee projects ensuring they are completed within budget and on schedule. Development Plan Review As current andp previous City Engineers, 4Creeks has participated int the! Development Plan Review process including determining conditions of approval for developments, as well as reviewing plans tor make sure they comply with Citys standards, specifications, and other benchmarks established by the City. We haver reviewed both on-site and off-site public rights of wayi improvements for projects ranging fromf frontage improvements of a single family residence, to commercial buildings, to larger multi- family residential buildings, to complete subdivisions.
